Decistere
Decistere (ds) is a unit of volume measurement equal to one-tenth of a litre, used primarily in some European countries for measuring liquids.
History/Origin
The decistere originated in the metric system as a subunit of the litre, introduced to facilitate smaller volume measurements. Its usage has declined with the standardization of the litre and millilitre units.
Current Use
Today, the decistere is rarely used in everyday measurements but may still appear in historical contexts or specific regional applications within certain European countries.
Stere
The stere (st) is a unit of volume used to measure large quantities of natural gas or other gases, equivalent to one thousand cubic meters (1,000 m³).
History/Origin
The stere originated in France in the 19th century as a practical unit for measuring natural gas volumes, particularly in the gas industry, and has been adopted in various countries for industrial and commercial purposes.
Current Use
Today, the stere is primarily used in the natural gas industry to quantify large volumes of gas, especially in regions where the metric system is standard, facilitating trade and regulation.
